Eddie Stephens, Board Certified Marital & Family Attorney

My name is Eddie Stephens and I am a Board Certified Family Law Attorney who has practiced family law in Palm Beach County my entire legal career.

With 18 years of litigation experience, I specialize in high-conflict, high-asset divorce cases. I focus on helping clients with domestic legal issues such as property division, business valuation, child support and spousal support, child custody and visitation, post-judgment modifications, child relocation, same sex marriages, and both prenuptial and postnuptial agreements.

I have earned the AV® Preeminent™ Peer Review Rating by Martindale-Hubbell, a professional rating indicating the highest ethical standards and professional ability. I have also been selected for inclusion in Best Lawyers in America ®, a peer-review publication recognizing the top 4% of attorneys in the country.

Having tried hundreds of high-conflict divorce cases in Palm Beach County, my hourly rate is higher than the average family law attorney due to my experiences and expertise. I also oversee a team of lawyers with varying levels of experience and hourly rates.

In addition to practicing family law, I am also proud to call myself an author, lecturer, and community leader. As a third generation Floridian, I am a concerned citizen of Palm Beach County who volunteers and supports a number of civic and charitable organizations to better the community including Leadership Palm Beach County, Boy Scouts of America, Big Dog Ranch Rescue and Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League.

As a divorced father of two teenage children, I know first-hand what’s at stake when counseling my clients. My hobbies include cooking, yoga, camping and spending time with my family.

In my spare time, I like to write my own summaries on every family law case published in Florida; I call them “squibs.” While I started the “squibs” as a way for me to learn about the cases, I also enjoy sharing them with my colleagues and they are published by the Family Section of the Florida Bar.

Please give my office a call at (561) 842-3000 if you would like to schedule a consultation.

Eddie Stephens took over a case that had been totally “screwed up” by others and through his knowledge and skills was able to resolve the “mess” in short order and satisfied all involved. I would highly recommend using his services and expertise for all of your needs in his area of expertise.

Mr. Stephens. I’d like to thank you for posting your most informative article, “1 in 17: Antisocial Personality Disorder in Family Court”. I filed for divorce in 2005 and am still dealing with my ex-antisocial husband in 2017. Your article adaptly puts into perspective what took me years to learn. My divorce, while not in the state of Florida, took 3 years of litigating against a pro se, antisocial who filed many, many lawsuits against myself, attorneys, and family members. The lengths these people will go through to destroy you is hard for most people to comprehend. Reading your analysis from both a legal and psychological perspective should help many. My antisocial ex-husband is now incarcerated in the federal prison system for his criminal acts. Even still, he had once again started to harass me by using the legal system as his forum for abuse. Unfortunately. For us, the legal system will go to almost unbelievable lengths to protect the due process rights of these vexatious litigants. I have an Injunction but that doesn’t even stop him. The courts need to do a better job of recognizing these litigants for who they are and the great harm they cause their opponents.

It’s pretty hard to come to terms with these people because their behaviors are so out of the norm. Again, your article hit the perverbial nail on the head!
